Music of the Day: Habibi

This was my "don't worry, it's almost the weekend" jam this morning. While rushing to make it out the door in time for a meeting, I danced around in a swirl of clothes, makeup, and rain boots. Needless to say, I left in a better mood than usual.

"Habibi" means "my heart" in Arabic- a fitting name for this all-girl band from Brooklyn that has certainly captured my heart. The band was founded by Rahill Jamalifard and is influenced by her Persian ancestry and 60's Motown sounds. (For more information, read this interview with V Magazine.)

I love this album and sincerely recommend checking out more if you're interested!

Hi there! Call me Mariah.

I'm a born and raised Michigander, living in Grand Rapids and finishing up a writing degree... I like bears, forests, ocean surf, the Great Lakes, dogs, thrifting, sweet treats, arts n crafts, the written word, fancy sammiches, obscure music, foreign film, and so much more.
